Steve Miller Band Posted March 8, 2003 Posted March 8, 2003 Found 4 rectangular soft plastic covers about 6cm x 2cm x 2cm. Has anyone got any idea what they are for ? Thanks Steve Quote
DutchWestfield Posted March 8, 2003 Posted March 8, 2003 Steve, I am not sure, haven't got my SVA kit yet, but could it be that these are for the bonnet catches ?? You might have the system with the bonnet locks, in that case you would not need then and can send them to me since I will use the bonnet catches Bye, Bertram Quote
Pmaltby Posted March 8, 2003 Posted March 8, 2003 hey steve. those four rubber covers are for the location points on the windscreen pilars which recieve the side screens. HTH Pete Quote
Rteyp Posted March 8, 2003 Posted March 8, 2003 On behalf of Steve - Thanks. As we don't have a windscreen we can safely forget them. Cheers John (Steve's little helper) Quote
Pmaltby Posted March 8, 2003 Posted March 8, 2003 Cheers John. Just in case take all the bits from the SVA kit that you havent used along to the test and a roll of black insulation tape, just in case Mr Hawk Eye! spots a sharp(ish)corner Quote
neilwillis Posted March 8, 2003 Posted March 8, 2003 It's probably wise to take your whole tool kit, foam, tape, anything else that isn't nailed to the garage wall. Easier to fix any small problems there n then, than have to go back another day Quote
Liam Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 be careful about using insulation tape. At leighton Buzzard they want everthing 'permanently'attached ie glued. Things held on with tape are a fail. Self adhesive cc foam seemed to be acceptable but only under dash padding. How do you cover bonnet catches 'permanently' when you have to open the bonnet for the test. I had to find some SVA proof catches (NF - Stapelhurst) Liam Quote
BobM Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 How do you cover bonnet catches 'permanently' when you have to open the bonnet for the test. I had to find some SVA proof catches (NF - Stapelhurst) I used the soft plastic covers described in the first post in this thread. I suppose they aren't that worried about you injuring pedestrians when you're bonnet's off Quote
neilwillis Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 Yes Bob, it seems that is what they must be for because they certainly don't fit the side screen mounting points. I love these little challenges, it's what makes building a kit car such an adventure! Quote
